LA – Even though people have labeled me as a foodie, as a dating coach I am constantly reminding my clients that dinner and a movie is not the way to a girl’s heart. Los Angeles is a melting pot of cultures, a stomping ground for artists, and a beautiful place to explore. So, before [...]

Singer, songwriter, lyricist and artist Carole Bayer Sager shared her favorite LA day with The Downtown Project. There are so many things that I love to do in Los Angeles, but if I had to lay out one perfect day, it would go something like this:

LA – Sometimes you just need to get out of town and we’re going out on a limb here with an unconventional suggestion: San Pedro! You may think of San Pedro as the home of the USS Iowa (BB-61) or the embarkation/debarkation port for your fabulous Mexican Riviera cruise, but the city is totally reinventing itself, and [...]

LA – If you love Halloween and all that comes with it, have we got a disturbing suggestion for you: The Blumhouse of Horrors.

LA – It’s always fun to discover treasure and we hit the jackpot when we stumbled across SoLA (Sisters of Los Angeles), a Los Angeles-inspired gift and modern memorabilia collection designed by Barbara Bestor, celebrated architect and author of “Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lake.”

LA – I love to eat – everything. Truffled Duck Mousse on one end of the spectrum, The Donut Man’s Strawberry Donut on the other. These days, my friends and I aren’t rolling like we used to, so instead of dining out, we maintain our foodie status by throwing dinner parties.

LA – What do these items have in common? Lavender. Zen Tea. German Chocolate Cake. Thai Lemongrass. Sugar Plum Blossomed and Lime Crush. Give up? They could all be ingredients to a fragrance that is made and inspired by YOU. These are just a few from different categories including InSPAration, Foodie, Floral, Fruity, Holiday, and [...]

LA – If you’re anything like us, we have a sweet tooth, but we also love our salt. So, when we got wind that former Top Chef contestant, Alex Eusebio set up shop in Toluca Lake, we were ecstatic only because we’re huge Top Chef fans. You’ve probably driven by it a million times and [...]

LA – If you were captivated by the unbeatable USA women’s volleyball team of Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor at the Summer Olympics, you’ll definitely want to check out the Manhattan Beach Open, a.k.a. The Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series on August 24th – 26th.

LA – If you were a fan of the movie Sideways, a film that garnered some 350 awards, you may be interested in knowing that Sideways the play has made its theatrical debut at the Ruskin Group Theatre in Santa Monica.

One day while cleaning out her closet, New York mom Robin Ashford-Macy (who’s now bi-coastal) realized she had way too many rocker t-shirts and a genius idea struck her: what if she turned them all into bikinis? She raced out, bought a sewing machine and Vin-T Bikini was born.

LA – My husband and I both escaped the bitter cold winters we grew up in (him in New York, me in Toronto, Canada) to live in Los Angeles. But in spite of its proximity, work, kids and busy schedules make it tough to get to the beach. So when we do set out for [...]

Los Angeles – “Hermosa,” in Spanish, means beautiful. Trust us, Hermosa Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. And, the soft sand, the water and the “pier plaza” or “promenade” make it walking friendly. Take a cab downtown and you’ll be able to take in plenty of cocktails, food and some of [...]

LA – As New York transplants who now live in LA, we sometimes feel like we could use a little artistic boost, the way we used to on the Lower East Side. Here’s the perfect way to get inspired by starving artists in the LA art scene. And the best part is, you don’t [...]

LA – In our house, it’s all about art. As a curator at the J Paul Getty Museum, it will come as no surprise that we go to the Getty…a lot. So, I thought I’d share with you another favorite So Cal outing that we enjoy doing as a family.

LA – I never imagined I’d ever wind up looking forward to weekends with anything but anticipation and relief. But once my kids were old enough to say “what are we going to do today?” weekends started to take on more pressure. I’ve always been a bit of a slave to structure, so now more [...]
